Migrate Drupal to Replit — without losing SEO
Sitejump audits the Drupal site, preserves every URL, redirect and meta tag, then packages it for a modern React + Tailwind rebuild in Replit.
What is a Drupal migration?
A Drupal migration means taking the pages a Drupal 7, 9 or 10 site serves — nodes, views, taxonomy pages, path aliases and translations — and rebuilding them as plain React + Tailwind instead of another major-version upgrade. It is the alternative to the upgrade treadmill: rather than paying to move Drupal 7 to 10 and then 10 to 11, you leave the version cycle entirely. The existing site stays online throughout.
Why do Drupal migrations lose SEO?
Drupal serves the same node under both its path alias and its /node/123 system path, and multilingual sites add /en/ and /fi/ prefixes plus hreflang pairs generated by contrib modules. Rebuilds that only capture the aliases lose the alternate paths, the taxonomy and view listing pages, and every hreflang relationship Google was using.
Why teams leave Drupal
Every major Drupal version becomes a re-platforming project. AI-builder rebuilds run on standard React + Tailwind — no vendor upgrade treadmill.
Years of custom modules make every upgrade a rewrite anyway. Migrate the content once, keep the URLs, and stop rewriting the same features.
Marketing teams edit in Google Docs and paste in. A AI-built website plus a light headless CMS is usually all you actually need.
Why teams move Drupal to Replit
Replit gives the rebuilt Drupal site a full-stack environment in the browser — the agent builds, the project runs, and deployment happens in the same place.
The rebuilt site runs immediately, so page-by-page progress is visible while the migration package is being applied.
Forms, server routes and integrations have somewhere to live, with secrets kept in the environment rather than in client code.
Custom domain, HTTPS and the redirect rules from the migration package are configured on the deployed project.
Once the Drupal site is rebuilt in the selected AI builder, the team can edit pages by describing changes in plain language.
The migration package is prepared for the selected AI builder, v0, Replit, Cursor or Claude, with instructions suited to the selected destination.
No more proprietary templating locking your site to Drupal. The rebuild is standard React + Tailwind — any developer or any AI assistant can extend it, and no vendor can hold the codebase hostage.

Honest, one-line takes on the other paths a Drupal team usually considers.
| Option | What actually happens |
|---|---|
| Stay on Drupal | Keeps monthly bills and the vendor lock-in. Every edit still needs a developer or agency ticket, and the platform gets older, not smarter. |
| Rebuild in Next.js on Vercel | A capable route, but migration discovery, content capture, redirects and evidence still need to be assembled before the rebuild begins. |
| Move to Webflow or Framer | Trades one hosted builder for another. You still don't own the code, and you'll re-platform again the day you need real product surfaces (auth, dashboards, checkout). |
| Migrate with Sitejump | One free audit, one-time payment, SEO preserved, and marketing edits the site with the compatible web builder or coding workspace that fits your delivery flow. |

How the Drupal → Replit move actually works
- 1. Free audit. Paste your Drupal URL. We crawl a sample, detect Drupal, count pages, and give you a preview report.
- 2. One-time payment. Pay once (tiered by page count). The full audit runs and packages your site into a migration bundle.
- 3. Paste one MCP URL into your AI builder. Lovable, v0, Replit Agent or a compatible coding workspace reads the migration package and rebuilds it in prioritised page batches on your instruction.
Drupal migration FAQ
Do I need to touch Drupal during the migration?
No. Sitejump crawls your live site the same way search engines do — we only need the public URL. Your Drupal install keeps running until you're ready to cut over.
What about SEO? Will rankings drop?
Every URL is preserved or 301-redirected to its new route, and every page's title, description, canonical and OG tags are carried forward. Search Console sees a clean move, not a rebuild.
Is this a subscription?
No. One free audit, then a one-time payment based on your site's page count. Lifetime access to your migration data through your account MCP connector.
How does the rebuild actually happen?
Paste one MCP URL into an AI builder, v0, Replit Agent or a compatible coding workspace. The builder reads the migration package and rebuilds pages on your instruction — you stay in control of design and structure.
Does paying for a migration replace my live website?
No. The current site keeps running as-is. Payment unlocks the migration package and connector for the saved destination. The switch happens only when the rebuilt site is published and the domain is moved.
Which AI builder should I use for a Drupal migration?
Choose the selected AI builder, v0 or Replit for a hosted project, or Cursor or Claude for a portable repository deployed to a host you control. Sitejump saves the choice with the migration and adapts the instructions and package.
What would this cost with an agency instead?
A manual Drupal rebuild is typically quoted at €30,000 and up — most of that is the copying: pages, redirects, images and language versions carried over by hand. Sitejump automates that part for a one-time fee.
Can non-developers edit the site after migration?
Yes. The selected AI builder can apply plain-language changes after the rebuild. Complex product features and integrations may still need developer review.
